This section describes how to install the Connector installation package you downloaded earlier into your Sitecore system.

Before you install the Lionbridge Connector (“Connector”), verify that you have reviewed the system requirements and followed all the pre-installation procedures described in Before You Install.

Note: If you will install the Connector with the Azure App Service into two Sitecore instances for Blue/Green Deployment, both Sitecore instances must be hosted on the same server or local machine, so that they have the same IP address. For detailed instructions, see Configuring the Connector with the Azure App Service for Blue/Green Deployment.

To install the Connector into Sitecore:

In the Sitecore Launchpad, click Desktop.
On the Sitecore Desktop, on the Sitecore Start menu, select Sitecore > Development Tools > Installation Wizard.

By default the Connector user interface is displayed in English. However, you can install a language package to display the Connector user interface in another supported language.

This section describes how to install a language package for the Connector that you downloaded earlier into your Sitecore system. This language package displays the Connector user interface in the supported language.
